Olivia finds herself caught between keeping Walter's secrets and her loyalties to Peter. Meanwhile, the Fringe division investigates the case of a
woman who mysteriously drops dead from a disease she never even had and the team must discover its origins before it can claim more lives.

Good episode, I suppose. It's about time they decide to start tracking down the other Jacksonville kids.

So far Olivia, Nick Lane (who had the contagious moods - currently in drug induced coma), Nancy Lewis (who had the pyrokinetic abilities) and the
James Heath guy from today (also in drug-induced coma) are the ones we know that are still alive.

Passengers aboard a commuter train suddenly die, and the Fringe division discovers that all electrical equipment, as well as the bodies themselves,
have been drained of power. Peter continues to be suspicious of Walter, who is still hiding a terrible secret.

Was kind of funny...before they even talked about wormholes or time travel in the episode, I was telling my wife about it in those exact terms (while
she rolled her eyes)...based on the initial clues (like tachyons)...and equations... She then looked at me as if I was from Mars, hehe...

So I think The White Tulip was one of the better Fringe episodes. I am usually not crazy about timeline stuff, but they did this mildly, in an
interesting manor.

I cringed at the guys skin, and then cried when Walter got the picture.

Then you knew it was coming, Peter finds out who he is, and takes off. You hope that he comes back. No one has heard of the actor leaving the show,
have they? I hope not.

But these great episodes are then followed by the stupid detective story. Which I think was just a stage to allow usually serious characters, sing.
Which it surprised me what a good singer the guy who plays Agent Broyles it, he doesn't look the type.

Teh only thing I didn't get is that when he jumped again, they started over again. Without remembering. Yet when he jumped the third time, they
didn't start over, they went to catch up with him. I didn't understand how that would work.

As for the timeline changes, if he ended up killing himself, nothing was ever changed. At least I dont think so. lol

An interesting point...if he killed himself in the past...then technically, Walter would have never had the conversation with him regarding Peter and
the white lily, etc. (if you go with the already established changes to the past that did occur during the episode)...

I heard an interview with him last year when he started doing Fringe. He retired from acting a long time ago and was focusing on photography and other
stuff.

It was only because of the interesting character of William Bell that changed his mind. He didn't even know if Bell is supposed to be good or bad.
And then he decided to do spock for the ST movie one last time, as a pass the buck sort of thing.

I thought it very cool he came back just for JJ Abrahams, because he finds him as fascinating as I do.

But I guess now that we know Bell is on the good side, though I can't say that 100% certainty, maybe Nimoy got bored.lol

As for Olivia vs. Olivia, can't wait. and my first thought was: who is trained better and who is gonna kick ass?

Explains why Walternate didn't want to see Peter right away...he just wants revenge it seems, and seems to be so bent on it, he's lost sight of the
reason for his anger (losing Peter).... A bit strange...but ok.

Now we know why Walter's memories were removed....so that's cool.

Have to hand it to my wife, she saw right away that the otherside Olivia was the one who came back... I can't see her pulling it off for too long
though....(Peter will likely figure it out first)..cool cliffhanger though....

I give the actress who plays Olivia a lot of credit. What a phenomenal job to play the same part with two slightly different personalities. Enought
that you can tell it was alter-olivia that came back.

And Walternate is just evil.

But don't you think that FBI would of trained her to handle a torture situation?
